New Zealand currently leads the points table with 127 points while India is in second position with 124 points
The West Indies and Pakistan square up for a four-match series starting in Bridgetown on Sunday with a chance to move up to third position in the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Team Rankings.

But for that to happen, either of the two teams, who will also be playing a three ODI series next month in a bid to boost their direct qualification chances for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, will need to dominate in the T20I series.

ICC World Twenty20 champion West Indies will move up from 116 points to 123 points if it wins all the matches while a 3-1 win will see it leapfrog third-placed South Africa, which is on 117 points.

On the other hand, former ICC World Twenty20 champion Pakistan could go up to 118 points and third position from its current sixth position with a 4-0 win while a 3-1 result will lift it to fourth position and 116 points.

New Zealand leads the points table with 127 points while India is in second position with 124 points.

The only rankings where we're in contention for third place....

This is poor comfort when in the longer versions of the game :

WE ARE WALLOWING AT OR NEAR

THE BOTTOM OF CRICKET IN THE

INTERNATIONAL CRICKET ARENA .

For years now , I have in this very forum advocated that there must
be a total restructuring of theWorst
International Cricket Board in the
Commonwealth , aka the WICBC .

In a futile effort to change the fortunes of West Indies Cricket the
people in the WICBC have changed
Managers ; Coaches ; Captains ;
Selectors .

YET IN THE INTERNATOALCRICKET

ARENA , OUR FORTUNES IN THE

LONGER VERSIONS OF THE GAME

REMAIN THE SAME .

Obviously any sane perso can rightly conclude that the problem
obviously then resides in the Stewardship of the WICBC .

However I seriously doubt that will
happen , the people in the WICBC
are two full of themselves to admit
that they are at fault .
